ML likes FL first (this one actively chases after her tho) but both really REALLY like her.
Suburban/Small town setting
Same quirky humor
Serial killer after the female lead
Both these shows add some aspects of a thriller in the drama which juxtaposes the bright romantic tone the show presents itself as.
(Both shows are able to still stay light throughout it tho)

I know these have nothing to do with each other in a sense, but the "time travel" aspect kind of gave me this sense of, if you make the wrong decision someone you love could die. Lovely Runner of course is not a BL, but I found the ending to be more satisfying than 4M.
Also LR has some what if moments to it, while also being a thriller. Not as cinematographic as 4M, but has some comedic moments to make up for that.

Although they have a different plotline, Kimi ga Kokoro wo Kuretakara reminds me of Lovely Runner in many ways. The same umbrella (although different colors) reference, meeting up when they are older, FL doing the "work" to save ML's life. Those kind of stuff. Anyway, the overall mood of KGKWK is much more melodramatic (despite having many crying scenes in LR too) and there is much more trauma esp in FL end.




-time travel
-sorta time loop (ML dies no matter how much the other partner tries to save them)
-butterfly effect (future changes becoz of past actions i.e. there is only one timeline)
-chemistry is good
-romcom
Difference is that Triage a medical drama and shows a more prominent time loop and ML is able to write what happens in each while FL in LR cannot write or say anything about the future to past people.
